In the internet age, there have been many American born grassroots basketball prospects who have struggled to live up to the hype social media has set for them.
17 year-old basketball prodigy Cooper Flagg is ready to step up to the challenge.
After reclassifying to enter college a year early, Flagg, the 6'9", 195-pound forward from Newport, Maine, is heading to Duke for his freshman season, where he’ll immediately become the face of college basketball.
The 2024 Gatorade National Player of the Year, out of renowned pro-maker Montverde Academy – displayed the kind of two-way versatility, physical tools, fiery competitiveness, and winning mentality, that makes Flagg the type of phenom prospect who may not just live up to the hype bestowed upon him…but potentially exceed it.
